Indie game devs are coming crawling out of the woodwork to confirm that in-game loading bars don't actually convey any useful information. And while I knew in my heart that was true all along, it still feels wrong.
Earlier this week, comedian Alasdair Beckett-King joked that "game developers need to invent a loading bar that moves at an even speed [...] once that's done, they can start working on graphics, jumping etc." I think that's pretty fair - whomst among us hasn't watched a loading bar jump back and forth erratically, given no indication of how much longer you've actually got to wait?
